Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1694
Hearing that, the four masters then turned to look at Sumeru as the dean nodded in response.
“So, you truly do know everything now… I suppose that means that you really are the destined person! With that in
mind, are you ready to hold that responsibility, Gerald?” asked Sumeru as he stared closely at Gerald.
“I am! After some thought, I feel that locating the Scintillating Gem should be prioritized!” replied Gerald in a
resolute tone.
He was placing priority on the gem since with it, he would be able to open the Scroll of Stars. Following that, Gerald
would hopefully be able to quickly develop the hidden will in his body in order to stand a chance against Masrus
when the demonic god appeared three hundred days later.
“While you’re free to do things in whichever order you please, please remember that the clock is constantly ticking.
If you can’t locate the gem by the time the three hundred days are up, the only thing that awaits our world is ruin!”

“I understand, master! Also, in order to hasten the search, I’m thinking of banding together a small team! What do
you think of that, master?” asked Gerald.
Gerald, for one, felt that doing things on his own again would surely make him feel lonely. With that in mind, Gerald
was planning to bring Nori and the four others along in search of the Scintillating Gem.
“I see no issue with that. Go on ahead and select the members you see fit to be part of your team!” replied
Sumeru.
Hearing that, Gerald then bade farewell to Sumeru and the four great masters before leaving the large hall to
begin making his preparations.
Once they were sure that Gerald had left, Jizo couldn’t help but look rather worriedly at Sumeru as he asked, “…Do
you really think he’ll be able to do it, dean?”
With the fate of the world on his shoulders, Gerald was most probably feeling immense pressure at the moment…
“…We simply have to believe in him and give him all the support he needs. Otherwise, the world will surely end in
ruin!” replied Sumeru in a firm tone without giving Jizo a direct answer. Even so, what he meant was clear as day.
With that, all four of the major great masters nodded in understanding, prompting no further questions to be
asked…
Sometime later, Gerald returned to the South pavilion. Upon entering, he saw that Nori and the other three were
resting inside while chatting among themselves.
Upon realizing that Gerald had returned, the four of them immediately smiled at him before praising, “You’re just
way too powerful, Gerald! To think that you’d actually be able to get to the very top of the tower! Because of that
feat, you’re now immensely famous within the academy, and many are now looking up to you!”
Despite hearing that, Gerald really couldn’t be bothered about such trivial fame. After all, there were much more
important affairs to deal with at the moment.
Shaking his head, Gerald then stood before the four people and straightened his back before saying, “Alright,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmputting all that aside… Please listen carefully to what I’m about to say next. I’ll be leaving the academy as soon as
possible to start locating an item called the Scintillating Gem. With that in mind, I was wondering if all of you would
be willing to come with me and help look for the gem. Don’t worry, I’ve already gained the dean and the four major
great masters’ permission. What do you say?”
Hearing that, Nori and the others were momentarily stunned. After all, it was a lot to take in.
After a short while, Zelig snapped out of it before asking in a slightly puzzled tone, “The… Scintillating Gem? What
exactly is that…? And why do we need to leave the academy all of a sudden to look for it?”
“I’m afraid I can’t share the details with you just yet. However, I’ll definitely do so one day. Regardless, my question
remains. Are you willing to join me in my search? Do note that we may be facing a lot of troubles and dangers
throughout the journey, so if you’re reluctant, I understand and I won’t try to force you to come along. I’m
completely fine with going alone!” replied Gerald as he retained his serious gaze.
With how serious this affair was, Gerald wasn’t even planning to make a joke to lighten up the mood.
Seeing that Gerald meant business, Nori and the others found themselves momentarily exchanging glances with
each other…
